+# The purpose of this file is to list ownership of the various components
+# held within the MOCI repository.
+#
+# Please consider the following:
+#  * Ownership is not a commitment for the individual to undertake all work
+#    requested or all reviewing for the owned section
+#  * Any planned changes to a section should be discussed with the code owner
+#    to ensure plans are appropriate
+#  * Code owners should be given the option to be a science/technical reviewer
+#    for any code that alters their section
+#  * Any interface between components needs to be agreed by all affected parties
+#
+# Contact details for code owners:
+# https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/home/wiki/UserList
+#
+# Only lines of the form "<path pattern> <@owner> [@owner ...]" are active
+# rules. Areas without a known GitHub owner are kept as comments so the
+# original ownership table is preserved.
+
+# = Coupling Applications: Contacts =
+# These are external contacts rather than repository paths, so they are
+# recorded here for reference only.
